Well I just got back from seeing it again and I have some more revelations/ideas.
During the Architect scene, he says that if you fail to pick 23 people (7 women and 16 men), then everyone connected to the Matrix would die. Then he says right after, that coupled with the Destruction of Zion it would mean the annihilation of the entire human race.
Which could mean that Zion is not part of the Matrix. The Architect could have been lying, because what I think is that the architect is actually the Machine A.I. which lead the machine revolt and war on humankind. As Morpheous said in the first movie, humanity created A.I. and then it became smarter and the world was launched into a true world war with the Machines emerging victrious. Who then created the Matrix and used humans as a form of energy.
Now the architect could have lied to Neo, or told him 1/2 truths. May be the machines tried 5 times to destroy Zion as they are trying to now while digging to it. And humanity defeated them. Because many believe in the prophecy of the one, it gives them hope that something will save them and Zion from distruction. By revealing that the prophecy is false, they lose hope and moral drops. Thus they stop trying because they know the end is now enivetable.
But them the above does not really explain Neo's special powers at the end of the movie, and why there are no old men or women in Zion except for the counsel. If you look at it, the counsel is made up of old people. Who could have been the remaining ones of the 23 chosen by the One before Neo to rebuild Zion and them being the elders formed the counsel and are on it.
Also, when the Senator and Neo were talking he said that "I still feel that we are pluged into them". Which could be another hint for Zion being still part of the matrix.
